“The 2012 MAYHEM FESTIVAL CRUISE will be a fun way to bring "Mayhem" to the high seas,” states festival co-creator Kevin Lyman.

"It is time to take the “Mayhem” to the seas,” adds festival co-creator John Reese. “There is nothing I would rather do than spend four days and three nights with 2,500 fellow metalheads witnessing 15 of the best heavy bands in the world while gambling, laughing with Big Jay Oakerson, being inspired by Clown of Slipknot and listening to bad ass DJ sets from Jonathan Davis and Sid.”
